bootstrap update didn't merge. it added another css file

Report · Nov 03, 2016

How do I merge the bootstrap update with the original bootstrap.css without creating a huge file filled with duplicates?

I avoid all these hassles by referencing Bootstrap and jQuery from CDNs. Nothing to download. Nothing to host on your server, except your custom CSS for overrides.

<!doctype html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Bootstrap 3.3.7 Starter</title>

<!--[if lt IE 9]>

<![endif]-->

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">

</head>

<body>

......INSERT COLUMN CLASSES HERE.....

</div>

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.2.min.js" integrity="sha256-lZFHibXzMHo3GGeehn1hudTAP3Sc0uKXBXAzHX1sjtk=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

</body>

</html>

I sometimes need to develop with an older version of Bootstrap. So it's a simple matter of switching version numbers in the referenced code.
